Visually stunning and poetic - the story of Popeye before he became Popeye! Everyone knows him: the loud-mouthed, one-eyed sailor man who shows off his biceps after gobbling canned spinach. He's funny, Popeye. His way of speaking, and his ready-made expressions… And what's more, he's a courageous guy, a good guy. A true hero. But this isn't exactly the Popeye you know. In this graphic novel there are other layers. A melancholy and beauty that only the exuberant watercolor art of Lelis and the sharp, sensitive script of Antoine Ozanam could express. Unlike the famous cartoons, the Popeye of this tale is an unlikely hero who could be found in any port around the world. In the story, a strange girl with flowery language arrives to hit him in his healthy eye. He's too old for her, but Olive is his girl, without a doubt. Like any man in love, reason disappears, and Popeye agrees to go on an adventure with Olive's brother...in search of a fabulous treasure. ABLAZE is proud to bring this acclaimed work of French writer Ozanam and multi-award-winning Brazilian artist Lelis to English readers worldwide. A brilliant reinterpretation of the origin of the character. And a magnificent adventure story!
